Umbrellas and Parasols.

A philadelphia umbrella manufacturer
says there are about $500, 900 umbrellas
and parasols sold in this country every
year. America has get ahoad of other
nations in manufacturing them, and not
more than 10 per cent. are imported. The
Sheffield umbrella. however, still leads
the world. Domestic makers have 10
figure very closely. and were they to raise
prices 10 per cent, the country would lie
deluged with foreign material Ii Is
remarkable circumstance than only one
person has ever made any money on ary
patent on an umbrella. That man IL old

edly the best known umbrella maker In
the world. He made the first paragon

through many hands before 1t is sold. No
one firm makesI an entire umbrella. The

The Philosophical Explation.
TBrokl7n Eagle

A New Orleans photographer hrs
succeeded in photographing flash OF
lightning; and they say the photograph,
is splendid-iust as natural as life. No
doubt it. Because. you see. the photo
grapher couldn't back the streak of light
ming up into an iron tripod with an ad-
Unstable cross bar, and twist and distolt
the unhappy thunderbolt into shape
most monstrously painful and unnatural.
and then bid it, Look pleasant, please. /"
We should think. with all the natural ad-
vantages in its favor. a streak of steel
blue lightning would haye no difficulty In
securing perfect likeness at the first sit
ting. Bus with man, an intelligent man
with far seeing, comprehensive brain
and an immortal soul, 1t is very different.
He is at the mercy of the artist, who
knows no mercy.

Nine hundred and ninety persons in
1000 would say that baby in the cradle
would be likely TO live longer than man
of 65, but statisticians prove indusputa.
bly, that 500 in every 900 infants die be-
fore the age of years is recorded, while
out of 900 healthy men at the age Of 05,
more than 500 of them will be alive In
five, ay in ten years, or even a longer
time. So it will be seen that man of 65
may be considered younger than an infant

scared beyond. I presume the lace
would have gratifed the heart of any
woman. Madam Byrne's toilets were
the choicest productions of French
trunks, and Beatrice assured me that
they had lett the hands of Partisan
Modesto S but few weeks since.
So these rare folderols proved an I'M
mense source of interest, investing the
bride with something of the beWildering
qualities of a newly bedeeked wax fig
ure, as exhibited to her lookers-on in
Broadway moving with mechanical and
statuesque grace, displaying the light
upon a satin fold, the drape of lace or
the position of flower.

Beatrice declared it her intention to
wear the family diamonds, and was the
embodiment of reverent interest to me,
with the dear gems about her that my
mother had worn.
While we waited to take the ladies
out to dinner one evening, | leaned
against the parlor mantel conversing
with Byrne. My glance commanded
the corridor and entrance door, and |
noticed with a critical eye the approach
of Beatrice. She was arrayed IN Law
ender brocade, wearing the diamonds,
with also a profusion Of lace about her
dress. TO my eyes she was a vision
of loneliness, as pausing moment, she
spoke to Madam Byrne and Selby.
Byrne's eyes rested upon the group as
they advanced toward US.

"They really are works of art, these

Madam Beatrice and Miss Lucy
Gwynn seemed to adopt the lady; they
talked to her, they drove and walked
with her, with only the slight effect of
rendering her smile little less "wry.
By admiring her bridal fnery they be-
slowed upon her the occupation Of rob-
ing herself in various costumes, sporting
fans and parasols to match; save this,
she seemed as unlmpressible as ever.
ettheSe ladies held little conversations
together and visited in their separate
apartments and they conveyed the new
bride around as if she we're the most
fascinating of women. The interest in
this friendship, | discovered, as I read

THE VERMONT PHuN1x BRArT1EBoRo FRIDAY MAY 20 1887


Prof Roberts Of Cornell University has
been making some interesting experiments
with clover. Taking a small piece of av-
erage growth as a sample lac found that the
dried tops yielded 329j pounds per acre,
while the roots, also dried, gave an average
of 1898 pounds Farmers often speak Of
the large tap root of the clover plant, but
few have any idea that it is greater in bulk
and value than the hay. 1t shows why it
is that, however managed, Il field after hay
ing borne II clover crop is fitted ior'nny
other Probably making the clover Into
hay is the best of all methods, as it insures
uninterrupted growth of the root until the
clover is cut, which is hen the root has at
tanned its full size When clover is pas
tured the cropping of the leaves and tramp
ing Of the crown of the plant by grazing
stock may easily check root growth more
than the value of the droppings Of stock as
IA manure. Besides, the hay cut is not lost
as fertilizer to the land if fed on the
farm, and the manure made from it is cure
fully saved. If after cutting for hay the
clover is allowed to make a second gruwoh
for seed the clover roots grow rapidly and
extend much more deeply during this brief
time. This second growth of clover al.
ways occurs during hot and generally dry
weather. and at such times the roots go
down into the suhsoil in search Of needed
moisture
